THE woman charged over an alleged foul-mouthed racist rant on a Central Coast bound train is not Sue Wilkins. The 55-year-old is in fact Karen Bailey.

Mrs Bailey was filmed by shocked commuters abusing a group of boys and an Asian woman on Wednesday afternoon .

She was also filmed allegedly phoning police and telling them her name was “Sue Wilkins”.

The Daily Telegraph can confirm she made no phone call to police while on the train and the fake call was done to intimidate the other passengers. She continued to use that name during subsequent public apologies.

When she did get off at Strathfield she was spoken to by police, who were patrolling the station by chance. A train guard alerted them she had been involved in an incident.

She produced a healthcare card with the name Karen Bailey to the officers claiming she had been the victim of verbal abuse. She did not lay a complaint and got on the next train to Gosford. It is not known what name she gave to police at that stage.

Mrs Bailey lives with her frail elderly father on the Central Coast and had been visiting her husband in a north shore nursing home on Wednesday.

Police were only able to track down Mrs Bailey yesterday after being contacted by a member of the public who recognised her from the video.

No formal statements have been made by the passengers on the train. Police are appealing for the Asian woman who was allegedly verbally abused and taunted to contact them.

Ms Bailey was last night taken to Wyong police station and charged with offensive conduct.

Commuters who were the target of Ms Bailey’s tirade told of their shock yesterday with a mother whose children were targeted saying they were left frightened.

Sydney Trains boss Howard Collins deemed the 55-year-old’s outburst on a Newcastle line service passing near Strathfield at about 4pm on Wednesday as the worst incident of abuse he had seen.

“I was in shock at the time. I’m probably more angry today that someone could be that low and attack a child or anyone else,” Ms Marr said.

“She called the police and her goal was to get my children removed from the train because they were sitting on a seat.

“They were frightened that the police were coming to get them.”

Who is this little jerk off he can only get a gook, he can’t even get a regular girlfriend — it is so sad

Ms Bailey was filmed turning to a passenger of Asian heritage and referring to her as a “gook” while she took to a nearby male passenger who was unrelated to the woman.

“Who is this little jerk off he can only get a gook, he can’t even get a regular girlfriend — it is so sad,” she said.

“Is it really that small that you can’t get an Aussie girl? Poor man. Look at this bogan he has got a gook — look at it. She probably thinks he is rich.”

Ms Bailey later cited her own poor dating history, claiming she had been ripped off $100,000 by a Dutch man she met on RSVP, in relation to her outburst.

She also told The Daily Telegraph she was returning from visiting her husband in a nursing home in Sydney and had been angry at a nurse of Asian heritage.

“Everyone’s playing the race card. It wasn’t purely the Asian lady. It was Australians too. It was basically anybody that looked at me they were a target,” she said.

“It was a combination of things. It was just frustration. I’ve been trying to get a job for over a year and I had my hopes pinned on this one job.

“I made a comment to the mother about her children sitting on the seats and she totally disagreed. I thought it was a horrid example to set for these children. I found it mind-numbing that everyone was agreeing with her.

“Then everything escalated and the guys started filming me.”

She said she wanted to offer a “public apology” but added: “I was called white trash earlier in the week so I know it’s not nice. But it’s only names. It’s not like I’m murdering anyone.”
